Jim Carrey can get on my nerves when he comes to comedy, but admittedly I have wathed some of his major movies recently, so they mustn't be that bad. Bruce Almighty was an okay movie when I watched it, but I'd like it even less now. But when it comes to Jim's serious movies, I agree with people here, he's better at them.
But I prefer intelligent humour, and stupid humour seems to get samey across the board and can come off as a bore. Intelligent humour, because people put thought into the jokes and often or not manage to deliver with a great wit, of course I find this really only shines in stand-up.
Of course stupid or simple humour can be good, because you don't always need to dedicate your intelligence to them, it's more of a casual or relaxed thing, hence I find kids' shows and TV fun to watch as well, Kung Fu Panda looks good and I like all of the Pixar movies (except the Incredibles and I haven't seen Cars)
You may find it hard to believe people's views on Jim Carey, I can see why you'd find it hard, I mean I find it hard to believe that there are people out there that don't find Bill Bailey funny, now that's something hard to believe!
Not everybody's got the same way of seeing things or find the same sort of humour funny - I mean people think Geek humour is stupid, whereas some really like cheesy jokes whilst others hate them - it's a wonderful and diverse world out there, somebody is always going to have the exact opposite opinion to you.
